Patiala, May 26

MP Preneet Kaur has accused the AAP of resorting to political vendetta over the Punjab Infrastructure Development Board’s (PIDB’s) decision to recall unutilised funds from the civic bodies.

She said the government has recalled funds worth Rs 13.98 crore from Patiala MC alone. “The development works have been put on halt. Funds were allocated by the previous government. I urge the Chief Minister not to indulge in politics of revenge,” she said.

Accompanied by BJP and PLC leaders, the MP submittted a memorandum to Deputy Commissioner. Mohammad Tayyab, MD, PIDB, said, “The funds were allocated for the development works, which did not commenced. Therefore, the body decided to recall the funds.”

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
